thalidomide and Precancerous Conditions

thalidomide has been researched along with Precancerous Conditions in 8 studies

Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects. It has been reintroduced and used for a number of immunological and inflammatory disorders. Thalidomide displays immunosuppressive and anti-angiogenic activity. It inhibits release of TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA from monocytes, and modulates other cytokine action.
thalidomide : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of R- and S-thalidomide.
2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione : A dicarboximide that is isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl group.

Precancerous Conditions: Pathological conditions that tend eventually to become malignant.

Trial Outcomes

Best Response

"Best response to study treatment as defined by protocol-specific response criteria:~Complete Response (CR) = absence of urine and serum M-components by immunofixation; bone marrow should be adequately cellular (>20%) with <1% monoclonal plasma cells by DNA-clg flow cytometry; serum calcium level must be normal; no new bone lesions nor enlargement of existing lesions; Normalization of serum concentrations of normal immunoglobulins is not required for CR. Partial Response (PR) = Reduction by > 75% in serum myeloma protein production; Decrease in monoclonal marrow plasmacytosis to <5%; Decrease in Bence-Jones proteinuria by >90%; No new lytic bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytoma.~Treatment Failures/Progressive Disease (PD) = Such patients do not fulfill the above criteria and/or have new lytic lesions (but not compression fractures), hypercalcemia, or other new manifestations of disease."
